1.4.7: Use my own thumbnail image for videos

MarkRH

Looking at this page: http://gallery.mysstie.com/eq2/mounts/ you will notice a generic mp4 thumbnail image. The location of which seems to be: http://gallery.mysstie.com/cache/eq2/mounts/zp-core_class-video_mp4Default_150_w150_h150_thumb.png

Is the some way I can make this an image related to the actual video even if I have to upload the image manually and modify the database somewhere. Just want to know if there is some way.

Thanks,
Mark H.

Yes, there is.
Put any image named mp4Default.png in a folder named images in your theme folder.
The class-video plugin will first look there for any default images.

Other multimedia default images follow the same name syntax.
You'll find them in class-video.php (lines 160 - 184)

If you want to have individual thumbs matching the video instead of changing the default ones that is possible as well: http://www.zenphoto.org/news/problems-with-albums-and-images#thumbnails-for-videos-are-not-created

Cool. That worked.

Thanks!
